A Walk Around the Pasture

We finally have had a couple of days without rain, so I thought I’d go check out the pasture.  It certainly looks like spring is way behind this year.

I wanted to see how green it was and check fence.  Of course, the first thing I noticed was a squirrel.  From the pile of walnut shells beneath the tree, I’d say this has been his home all winter.

There is water in the waterways.  That’s a relief.

Weekend Reflections/spring

There isn’t a lot of water in there yet, but we’re supposed to have rain several days this coming week too.

I have a lot of old trees along the waterway, but it doesn’t look like they have realized it’s spring yet.  Hopefully today’s sunshine will help.

I had to check along my fences too.  I did find a panel that must have been blown down, so I’ll have to repair it before I turn goats out.

The grass is turning green, especially where the hay was made.  It doesn’t have the tall dead grass on it.

The geese are enjoying the green by the old fence.

Does it look like this one is smiling at me?

The boys are also enjoying the grass.  They have been turned out to the small front pasture.

Cinnamon doesn’t seem to think it’s fair that the boys have nice grass and she’s in the muddy barnyard.

Moving Goats Around

I finally got my girls and boys moved around, so I can put the girls with kids where Fionn and Marley were if the weather ever straightens around.  Putting those two back in with Boeris always creates a bit of good natured head butting!

Fionn was right there beside his daddy, Marley, to show his support.

Fionn would much prefer to avoid the fighting, however.  Staying on the other side of the fence is a good way to do this!

Luckily, his daddy will look out for him.

 

That is unless I distract him.

Now they are all good friends again, and I don’t have to worry about them!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week’s items for Ashley Sisk’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday are:  breakfast, multi-colored, starts with the letter c, roll, and future.

Breakfast:  It’s a good thing I had the weekend.  I actually took the time to have a piece of toast with homemade strawberry rhubarb jam with my cup of coffee.  Did I mention that I like canning jams, and I’d like to offer them for sale when I get my on-farm market?

Roll:  I sometimes confuse people.  They wonder why on earth I have a really cheap McDonald’s happy meal car just lying around on my floor, especially now that my son has moved out.  I’ve even had some people pick it up for me.

Starts with the letter C:  Here’s the explanation as to why I have that little car just lying about.  The cats have a lot of fun with it.

Multi-colored:  They also enjoy the rainbow pillow my mom made for them.  She spoils them.

Snickers

Future:  The future of my goat herd is Fionn.  He’s been busy this weekend, and we’ll have babies in June

It’s been a pretty good weekend here on the farm.
